not a car book. not even really a motorcycle book. not even about vehicle maintenance. but it is a great philosophical book that connects with the mind of a car/motorcycle guy.

Castrol Racing Drivers Manual isn't a bad read

To cover a wide range of subjects, I've found the Automobile Year series unbeatable. I have a 1957 edition, and the pictures and information available is incredible. You can pick up more recent books for very little, the first ones can be very expensive.
For books focusing on single cars, there's really nothing that stands out as the best...

About 15 years ago, I bought a book by Jackie Stewart about driving / racing techniques. God I loved that book, taught me a lot. I lost it a few years ago, I don't remember the exact name of the book. Anyone know what it's called? I want to get it again.

By the way, i just got a very old book from the 80's called Achter de hekken van de autosport. The text is kinda lame, but the pictures are great
